PP386 Happy Easter

Happy Palm Sunday, everyone! What a blessing it is to think about this time of resurrection! We're having a brunch at church today, so it's a double blessing!! Busy but fun. And I was busy in my craft room this weekend, creating my Paper Players' card for Claire's sketch...LOVE this one!

I am behind on making my Easter cards, and since there were lots of layers on Claire's sketch, I went for lots of different pastel-hued papers!!! I certainly have enough of them, but many of them in the colors that I wanted were more vintage-styled, so I had to really search to find these!

There's really not much stamping on this card! I started with my wreath, which is actually a Christmas wreath from my recently-purchased Lawn Fawn set, Peace Joy Love. It's really just a little semi-circle stamp, so I inked it up three times in Pear Pizzazz ink and matched the ends to make a circle shape, then diecut it with a Stitched Shapes Framelit. I added some Crisp Cantaloup flowers with pearl centers, and a little diecut bunny with a purple bow (Lil'Inker):

I added pink and blue banners, then hung a little diecut tag (Provocraft), stamped with an Easter sentiment and strung on a Crisp Cantaloupe thick Baker's Twine bow:

I also put an Easter sentiment on the inside of my card as well! These colors just make me think of spring and Easter eggs! I hope you'll play with Claire's sketch as well, and check out what the DT created! They've outdone themselves:

Oh LeAnne, this is such a gorgeous Easter card. I adore the mix of patterns and the polka dot bunny makes me smile!!!! Your little wreath of flowers and pearls is lovely! You certainly know all my favorite things! Thank you for making my sketch shine! Have a wonderful Palm Sunday celebration and I hope the sun is shining on you today! Cassidy looks so happy in that big pile of snow! XX

LeAnne, I am obsessed with your polka dot bunny and I love the gingham behind it. Your brought the wonderful pastel colors of spring together beautifully on this card and it's a fabulous take on the sketch. I was feeling all spring--like until I saw Cassidy's photo :-) I can't believe that it's the end of March here and I am still looking out of my window and seeing snow on the ground!! Have a fabulous Easterhugsjayvee
